Stories of Alaska's National Historic Landmarks

Alaska's National Historic Landmarks are symbols of American history. Our story begins when people first began to settle the Bering Land Bridge and North America aeons ago. For thousands of years, Alaska Natives perfected their relationship with the landscape. Russian explorers, then American industrialists with the U.S. military, and a mix of laborers and entrepreneurs from around the globe chose Alaska in search of opportunity.
